Excellent trail with great views. A nice loop and somewhat paved for most of the way. There are trail markers so it is easy to follow your desired path. Lots of dogs and friendly people on this trail. Would definitely recommend. The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is because there is not too much available parking.

I was looking for a walking trail near the house. Came across Arroyo Pescadero after a Google search. You have the choice of two trails. During these times its nice to get out and get fresh air. Other walkers are very considerate and keep their distance and wear their masks. This has become my go to trail.

A good place to train. I say that cause there are usually a lot of people . I use to train for larger hikes. The city does a great job maintaining it. My hats off to the people who maintain it.

Super great beginners trail. You can either go moderate depending the route or go easy. Easy trail from little ones too.

We loved this trail! Plenty of space for the kids to run around and features nice wide trails with plenty of shade trees throughout. The parking lot can fill up, bit be patient, someone typically leaves every 5-10 minutes.

This is a beautiful trailhead nestled just north of Whittier. The path splits into either a long trail that goes straight out and straight back or another trail that does a loop either way you will have a wonderful time.My only warning is that you know theres limited parking so it may be hard to find a spot sometimes.

Love it so much.. escape from the city life

Cool spot to go for hike with kids. If they dont feel like doing much hiking its just a small loop down and back up to the top. I like to make it a little longer when I go for run so I connect the trail to the other side of Colima Road and add some more miles to it. Has nice parking lot.

Good hike for beginners...clean and easy to follow, restroom 3/5 and water fountain...good place to unwind and has a nice view

First timers should have no problem following the trail, great experience, parking was lonely and trail was quiet, I enjoyed it very much

Its a fairly easy hike, mostly flat land. This would not be any challenge if you are seeking one.

Its very quiet and well kept. There are 3 trails of various difficulties and everyone you come across is always so nice!

Challenging for a beginner like me but 100% worth it! Loved this quiet and beautiful trail.

I came here for a bike ride but immediately saw a sign that says no bikes. Fortunately the map at the information station showed that the Arroyo San Miguel Trail is open to mountain bikes. Beautiful vegetation and wild flowers this time of year. Lots of rabbits out. I noticed a portable toilet and a drinking fountain at the parking lot (which was surprisingly full by 7:30 AM on a week day).

Great place to hike, the parking is not that great.

Very good trails for hiking. Youll see a lot of wildlife. Get there early . Parking is limited.. but trails are worth it. You can also park across, at the little league park.

Amazing hiking area for those who are getting back into it . Also love that it offers an extended loop if you want the extra mileage. Also very good for training in all sports. Must come early parking is on a first come first serve basis .

Wow, this place is a lot bigger than I thought. Lots of windy trails to choose from, and very quiet and easy to get to. Good for dogs, but you have to watch the signs because some of the trails dont let dogs on them. Also there is a fine for if you let your dogs off leash. Even so, me and my family had a really good time there and we will definitely go again.

Great little trail, fun to do the loop both ways.

I come here every weekend! Love it

Great early morning hike. Not very crowded at 6 a.m. Its a nice area to walk and have a few good landscape photos.

Bring water it was 91 today. Safe loop trail for distancing.

Beautiful area. Some of the trail is dirt/rock and some is an old road. I wish the map at the entrance gave a better description of the trails. The trails I wwnt on, san miguel was by the road for some parts. Tiny parking lot. There is a porta-potty. I saw many lizards and beetles.

Been here many times with Brownie but I had to put her down. So I rescued Jenny and she is the sweetest girl. She loved sniffing around.Didnt see any coyotes this time.

Easy trail that makes you forget your in the middle of the city.

It is an easy hike with nice city views. I like the fact that is basically in our backyard.

Very peaceful. Lets keep it there.

It is a great place to hike there. Definitely, I will go that place again with a friend.

Love this trail, great for families with small kids. Multiple trails to choose from depending on the intensity you are looking for. Pretty scenery that makes you feel like youre no longer in the city.

Great place to hike, mtb, or gravel. People are respectful as are the riders. A nice binus is there are dogs allowed on the trail and who doesnt like dogs... bad people thats who.

I saw a rattle snake on the trail and it was hissing scary.

Really great views at the top of one hill almost 360° around ️

Great place to hiking

Love the place after COVID19 the place has a lot of people

Fun short hike with family. Good morning spot.

My favorite local place to hike.

Good hike for beginners like our Family, just wanting to get outside and move.

I like this place so much.

Great spot to hike. Not crowded and super peaceful.

Nice hike, but you may miss the turnoff loop because signage isnt in good repair. Lots of bunnies and deer.

Good trail you can get lost if you dont know where your going.

Fantastic place to hike~♡♡♡

Nice place to have a nice hike

Russell and Kane love taking morning stools and see all kinds of wild animals.

Clean and well-kept. A nice place close to the road that can make you feel far and away surprising quickly. The parking lot is small. Good shade for morning hikes.

Great trail for beginners as its mostly flat with a few moderate inclines. Parking lot is pretty small however but usually not as busy as people constantly come & go from the parking lot since its a short trail.

Did have enough salsa and guacamole for 16 PCS. Only gave me 4...

Really enjoyable hike. Nice views and lots of wildflowers...some are starting to wither now. My nine year old enjoyed it also.

Really good Hill area to hike. Going to the top rewards you with an almost three sixty view for miles! Def recommend, youll most likely find a walking stick while youre out there.

This is my favorite trail. It has enough hills to get a strong work out! Parking is limited in the weekends.

Place was lonely on a weekend. Which is normally good, but it seemed a little overgrown with dying, dried bushes. May need some maintenance soon. But loop is a good workout at 2.6 miles.

Green, wonderful and rich in wildlife it is a great place to go for a hike with friends. The hills altitude make it an ideal location to watch southern California sunsets also gorgeous views of Los Angeles and Orange county

Great place to hike but not on a sunny, hot day.

Great 2 mile hike with my family.

Good trail and nice overlook can see Catalina on a clear day. easy hike. Good parking area.

The hiking here is a little easier than advertised but still nice. Also theres not as much to see on this trail as there are in some other trails in the Whittier area.

A great place to go hiking. Just be aware that theres a trail where you cannot take your dog as it is harmful to the wildlife if your dog marks their territory. However, there is a loop trail where you are allowed to walk your dog. Very beautiful area to walk around or get some exercise. Parking could be limited so keep that in mind.

A very pretty trail! Im always amazed how California has these trails tucked away everywhere. Would be a great running trail.

Worth going if youre near o/w there are many other better trails.

Plenty of trail. Multiple loops to lengthen or shorten your hike. Great views!

It was nice to get away from people. Walk up the hill and turn right going down hill onto the somewhat paved road

The parking here is a bit slim and it gets packed. this is an extremely easy trail. i enjoyed it for a nice break and good scenery. there is not a lot of people and the actual trail is well maintained. i would definitely suggest to come here because most people dont know about it

Lots of rabbits this morning.

The Arroyo Pescadero Trail is a great 3 mile loop or 6 mile out and back. The loop is wide enough and well enough cared for that you can take a jogging stroller. We have hiked this trail with children, dogs, and several combinations, thereof.My only wish is that it would be better cared for. Many dog owners do not pick up after their dogs and it is not cleaned often.

Beautiful spring walk

Great trail, not intense at all. you can run the trail if you wanted, or cut it short. Scenery is nice. Bring water. On few occasions Ive hiked this loop more than once in a row.

On a clear day you can see a great view of Catalina island

Really nice people on trail if any. My dog has a barking problem therefore we seek out trails with light foot traffic. It was beautiful she loved the environment too.

One of my favorite hikes

Nice and easy trail perfect for the whole family..

Dope trail in Whittier hills

Main gate and parking open Sunrise to Sunset. Arroyo Pescadero Trail is 1.8 miles, you can easily add in the deer loop for an additional .8 miles and get in a nice hike. Basic southern California landscape. (Dry). Nice elevation changes and many places to rest for us old timers. Off to the west, at the higher elevations you can see the buildings in downtown LA,

Really like this trail decent play to jog through not to difficult.

Really easy trail, saw a bobcat and a bunny while we were walking. Lots of birds and wildlife which was nice.

Love the fresh open air, love the feeling that there is wide open spaces left out there to enjoy.

Vigorous little climb kicked my butt. Great view of Hollywood, downtown LA, Palos Verdes, Laguna hills, the San Gabriels, and Catalina on a clear day.

So relaxed place than I ever met!

Nice hiking trails. Beautiful scenery.

Nice easy trail. Kids loved it!

Good place to go hiking

I love taking walks with the family there. People need to do a better job of picking up after their dogs though. Watch where you step. Parking is scarce as well so try to arrive during off-peak hours.

Nice trails with bathrooms at the trailhead. Bring your own water and snacks. Make sure to pack out any trash. Parking is limited and make sure to lock your car up. Pulling out of the parking lot, make sure to judge the speed of the cars coming down the hill. Some come flying down.

Why over grow but love to take the dogs here

Nice place for a stroll, not a difficult hike. There is no shade so bring lots of water and wear a hat. Parking can be tricky

Great place to hike almost a 3 mile hike

Nice trail would be better with larger marking as well as clear post of # of miles. Good loop .

Great Hike bathroom available parking lot small but overall great hike

Very beautiful and peaceful trail. Parking is limited.

Really cool place. Had a good day of sight seeing and walking.

Great place for hiking

One of my wifes favorite trails. Easy but will give you a good workout

Such a nice place for a hike. Great alternative to other more popular hiking trails. Parking can be limited at times.

Beautiful atmosphere peaceful area

Nice trails very peaceful.

Good little hike. Terrible parking.

Really good hike we even seen some deers I love the view of Los Angeles

Great trail for running, walking, kids, dogs even mountain biking. The earlier the better, it can get hot!

Quiet trail beautiful view good walk

Quiet and reasonably secluded. A nice hike for beginners with only a few hills.

Its short and easy. Goes in a circle. Its uphill at the end.
